The billionaire’s plans, which were reported in The Washington Post last week, would account for 5,500 of the 7,500-strong workforce. Mr Musk previously described Twitter’s workforce as bloated, saying it had a “strong, left-wing bias”.

Before the deadline to agree on a deal on Friday, October 28 , TIME reports that it has seen a draft of an open letter that Twitter employees plan to circulate.

The employees demand that Mr Musk commits to preserving the company’s existing workforce. They argue that he should not discriminate against employees based on their political beliefs. There are also demands that the potential buyer must commit to fair severance policies and clearer communication about working conditions.

Learn to code!

It’s a private business. Can do what they want.

Go start your own business.

Same crap they tell us all the time.

“Dear disgruntled employees. Thank you for your input on how to run the company. What were your names again?”

Yeah, they might have some leverage if Musk was planning to fire 20% and the other 80% joined in to fight but since he’s canning 75%, they have very little to no power.

Faaacebookers might want to stay away from Twitter as an alternative.

During a Q & A meeting with Twitter employees, Musk used the phrase “All Lives Matter!”.

After Musk made the statement liberal employees at Twitter immediately started a private group chat on slack and started to bash Musk for making the comments.

According to the far left if you say “All lives matter!” instead of Black Lives Matter then you are racist and are “missing the point”.

Lay off the ones who insist on remote working from home first.

If all of the liberal employees feel like the most important thing is for their liberalism to be preserved, by all means, take your severance and start your own liberal company.
